Break into Spring!!

Ms. Single Mom, doesn't it seem like January was just here? And now, we're already into the second quarter of this new year. For many of you, the Spring holidays seem to hit all at once.
It's April and that means April Fool's Day, Easter and Spring Break happening in the same month. Who's bright idea was that anyway? Doesn't that usually mean your children want new clothes, and trips to the amusement park, and snacks ALL DAY long?

Okay, so how and where are you supposed to find extra money to make these things happen for your children? GET CREATIVE!

1. Let your child/ren redecorate last year's Easter hat with buttons, beads & shells to give it a fresh new look. They'll have a load of fun.
2. Let your child/ren use your yard (or a relative's yard) and design their own play area. Children have great imaginations and this is an awesome way to occupy their time for hours on end.
3. Let your child/ren make cupcakes, cookies, or brownies. They can also use their imagination to create new sandwich ideas using the usual ingredients. Encourage their creativity, occupy their time, and save your money in the process.

Break time will be over soon (Laugh Out Loud)!!
